    Default How To Stop Comics Slanting To One Side?

    Sorry if this is the wrong board, I couldn't figure out exactly where best to post this.

    Does anyone else have this problem:

    The comics always seem to stick out more prominently on the left due to the spine being thicker. Is there a way to remedy this? I don't want to alternate the direction each issue faces as that would make looking through them a bit more difficult.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Basically just alternate the way round you put them when you stack them in the box. i.e. If you're stacking a run of 10 comics put first in box with spine to left, second with spine to the right, third with spine to left, fourth with spine to the right, etc

    "Forgot" to mention that you can do alternation by simply putting first comic right way, second upside down...so that cover is facing same way...really not any more difficult to find a particular comic this way than stacking them all same way.

    But generally physical comics are a faff. Don't regret moving to digital.

    Yeah due to the way comic books are binded there is no way to avoid them from slanting but those suggestions by JackDaw are informative I'll will probably take up on that too.

    That or switch from single issues to tpb's and harcovers.

    Haha, thanks, I made them. I traced a divider, scanned it, made a template on Photoshop, whacked the logo up the top and printed them double-sided on card stock.

    I was going to ask about the dividers too. Damn they look nice.
